Biography[edit]
Ève Antonie Paul-Margueritte[1] was born 5 February 1885, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris.[2] She was the daughter of Paul Margueritte, the niece of Victor Margueritte, and the granddaughter of Jean Auguste Margueritte.
In 1919, she married Charles Gaucher (1877-1927).[1][3][4] After Ève was widowed and Lucie divorced, the sisters lived together, raising the former's son and living off their writings.[5]
With Lucie, Paul-Margueritte translated many English-language novels, including Bram Stoker's Dracula[6] and others by Thomas Hardy and Alice Muriel Williamson.
Both of the sisters were members of the first women's gastronomic club, the "Club des belles perdrix".[7]
Ève Paul-Margueritte died in Limeil-Brévannes, 16 July 1971,[2] and is buried, along with her sister, in the Cimetière d'Auteuil.[8]
